Choosing the right size tube for handrailing
Choosing the right size tube for handrailing
(OP)
Hi,
As the title suggests i need to know how you work out the correct size tube for a handrail. I have an access platform with 33.7o/d tubing the client is asking if this meets British Standards, BS 5395-3 say the tube should withstand a lateral load of 0.36kN/m and that's pretty much it. Is there a way of connecting the BS1387 tube used with the BS 5395-3?
Thanks in advance.

Obviously post heights, obstructions, attachments, and other details may effect the design but this is typically a good base point to start.
